Hey guys
excuse the possibly amateur nature of this question, but i have some things id like to know about direct draw. any graphical thing ive ever made has been using bitblt, and i never looked at direct draw because i was comfortable where i was. what i need to know is the differences in speed and ease of use. i know nothing about direct draw, and for me to take a little time to get used to it id have to know i was doing it for a decent reason. is direct draw faster and more practical for a real time game? it just seems a lot more complicated than bitblt but if it is for good reason then i may learn more about it. any pros and cons would be apreciated also. thanks alot

matt
